Really, the upgraded version will make the game run and load better, which, while definitely a blessing, isn’t necessary to get the proper experience. Additionally, through backward compatibility, the game is already playable on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, so an upgraded version likely won’t do much to improve the game due to the sea of in-game mods available to players. Skyrim is available on every major console that’s come out since its release in 2011, barring the WiiU, so fans of the game and newcomers to the series have plenty of different platforms to pick the game up on.

To put it bluntly, Skyrim doesn’t need another rerelease.
